Travel Insurance

Protect yourself and your vacation investment with travel insurance

Travel Insurance

We recommend for everyone to purchase travel insurance. A small investment now will save you a headache later on when something unexpected comes up. So why should you bother purchasing travel insurance?

Good question! We have 3 answers for you:

PROTECT YOUR MONEY: The cruise has cancellation penalties that will increase the closer we get to the sail date – Royal Caribbean will NOT waive these fees even in the worst possible circumstances like being in the hospital or having a death in the family. Nothing makes us feel worse that giving you the bad news of how much money you will lose, when you call us trying to cancel your cruise. Travel Insurance will protect you from these cancellation penalties/fees (for a valid reason like sickness, job loss, etc…).

PROTECT YOURSELF (HEALTH INSURANCE): Your regular health insurance covers you only within the US, you may not be covered while you are in the Bahamas. Also, although a cruise is probably the safest vacation you can partake on, injuries can happen… keep in mind that you will be paying emergency room prices if you have to take a trip down to the ship’s medical facility. Travel Insurance can cover these costs.

IT’S CHEAP: Travel insurance is very affordable (in most cases $30-$40 per person) – there is no reason why anyone should go without it. You will be asked if you want to purchase travel insurance when you book.

Ignite Cruises and CPC have teamed up with Travel Guard to offer affordable travel insurance with great coverage. Please see below for a brief description of coverage.
